Often, there are accommodation questions/requests that your department may be able to answer or make without the assistance of Student Access and Accommodation Services. However, if you receive a request for an accommodation in which you require the assistance of Student Access and Accommodation Services, please contact us at least 5 business days prior to the event. If the request is not submitted within this timeframe, there is no guarantee that the accommodation can be placed.
